Myo before expander or vice versa?

Saturday, 04 January 2014 by Administrator
An orthdontist recommended a palatal expansion after myofunctional therapy for an 8 year old.. I explained that the palatal expansion should take place before myo and she felt that myo would go first and the tongue would widen the palate. You said the tongue would not widen that palate at 8 years of age. Can you help me to understand why the tongue is not going to widen it. Is it because of the patient's age? Is there an age at which the tongue will naturally widen a narrow palate?

RDH orofacial myologist working with stroke patients

Thursday, 18 August 2011 by Administrator
The short answer to your question is that there are no current data to suggest that MFT should play a role in the rehabilitation of stroke victims. The larger issue involved is the training of those who work with stroke victims. This is not an appropriate area of clinical endeavor for a dental hygienist.

Q&A from an RDH about courses
